Yucca

Yucca is a modern network video recorder (NVR) application that simplifies video surveillance for homes, small businesses, and larger installations. Unlike enterprise video management systems that require extensive configuration and expensive licensing, Yucca provides an accessible platform for connecting IP cameras, recording footage, and monitoring live streams through an intuitive web interface. The system is designed with flexibility in mind, capable of supporting everything from a handful of home security cameras to thousands of cameras in municipal safe city deployments. With built-in SMTP server capabilities for email alerts and Prometheus metrics for monitoring system health, Yucca integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure while maintaining simplicity for end users.

Common Use Cases

Yucca is ideal for homeowners who want to set up a DIY security camera system using affordable IP cameras without recurring cloud storage fees or subscription services, with the ability to view live feeds and recorded footage from anywhere through the web interface or Android mobile app. Small businesses and retail stores use Yucca to monitor multiple locations, review incident footage, and maintain security records without the cost of commercial NVR solutions or per-camera licensing fees. Property managers and building operators deploy Yucca to provide surveillance services to tenants and residents, with the scalability to handle cameras across multiple buildings from a centralized system. Municipal and institutional users leverage Yucca's high-capacity design for safe city initiatives, parking lot monitoring, and campus security with support for thousands of camera streams.

Why deploy Yucca on Hostinger VPS

Deploying Yucca on a Hostinger VPS eliminates monthly cloud storage fees and per-camera subscription costs from commercial surveillance services, giving you unlimited camera support and storage capacity limited only by your VPS resources. With dedicated CPU and memory, your VPS can handle multiple camera streams simultaneously with smooth video playback and reliable recording, ensuring you don't miss critical events due to resource constraints. Hostinger VPS provides the storage capacity needed for continuous recording with configurable retention periods, and you can easily scale disk space as your camera count grows or as you need longer video retention. The dedicated IP address simplifies remote access to your cameras from mobile devices and enables proper camera network configuration without NAT traversal issues. For businesses and power users, running Yucca on Hostinger VPS provides professional-grade video surveillance capabilities at a fraction of the cost of commercial NVR systems, with complete control over your security footage and no vendor lock-in.
